Recovering the Satellites We use only quality meats and cheeses for the tastiest subs in · Counting Crows • Come in and enjoy the BLIMPIE@difference. ._ (Geffen) i.'n~ci?-1/2 • The autumn of 1996 is the best season in a long time to produce so many good albums at once. First, Pearl Jam releases No Code. Then, R.E.M. surfaces to the top with New Adventures in Hi-Fi. Now, make way for Counting Crows and their second album, Recovering the Satellites. All these albums have one thing in common; they are very good. Yet, they have a unique sound to one another. Counting Crows brings out a folk rock style that gives the band its own trademark. With a repeated success from the first album, we begin to see that Counting Crows is on the road to staying above the world of excellence. In 1993, Adam Duritz and his Crows hit the radio waves with their hit song, "Mr. Jones." The single represented a mellow side of the rookie band; referring to rain and dark colors. The word "rain" was said fourteen times on the album. Duritz seemed to be entangled with the sad affairs between someone he loved. He is distant from close items in the song ------r------1 "Raining in Baltimore," when he says, "tlu·ee-thousand five-hundred miles - BUYONE, FREE DRINK away."

from CROWS, page 9 For a blues side, Duritz wrote "Another Horsedreamer' s Blues." This lounge type song is another example of the variety of different melodies surfacing from Satellites . Suddenly, in the next track, you're about 20 miles above the earth's surface "Recovering the Satellites." The song begins with a satellite type bleeping noise produced by the guitar. Duritz points out how someone in a dream state can "only stay in orbit for a moment of time," then falls back to reality. After staying in orbit for a while, you make re-entry to "Monkey." This song begins the folk song style of the last set. "Monkey" has a funky beat that makes your foot shake to the beat. "A Long December," feels like you're listening to August again.
